The New Trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water Is as Vague as the Last One

Director James Cameron really doesn’t want you to know much about his long-gestating Avatar sequels—or at least that’s the impression the latest trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water gives. If you watched the teaser, you pretty much got the gist: Family! Nature! Bad humans with guns and machinery!

Now do it again, but twice as long.

The summary is brief:

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.

“And their kids” encompasses four children: Kiri (Sigourney Weaver, whose voice is instantly recognizable), Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), Lo’ak (Britain Dalton), and Tuktirey (Trinity Bliss).  Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña return as Jake and Neytiri; Stephen Lang is also back, somehow, presumably to wreak further havoc on Pandora. Jemaine Clement, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Joel David Moore, Kate Winslet, and Michelle Yeoh are here somewhere, too.

Avatar: The Way of Water has three screenwriters (Cameron, Rick Jaffa, and Amanda Silver) and a story with five writers (Cameron, Jaffa, Silver, Josh Friedman, and Shane Salerno). Sigourney Weaver told Variety, “The story is about family, about our families trying to stay together [and] the lengths to which we all go to protect each other and protect the place where we live,” which means, as far as I’m concerned, it’s technically a Fast & Furious spinoff.

Avatar: The Way of Water—which is the first of four sequels Cameron has planned—is in theaters December 16th.
